Can see Kenin knockout out Swiatek in Round 1, she is good on grass, Iga is naked without clay. 3 former slam finalists are guaranteed to be out by the 4th round in that section. Romanian Warrior Princess has English hope Kartal Sloane Ranger and Vika play R1 Andreeva the Believa has a potential banana skin in ITF Queen Fruhvirtova, though don't really know what she's like on grass Could be an early bath for Raducanu who's been drawn against seeded player Alexandrova who bagelled Sabalabalenka in Holland last year on grass in the final. Doesn't deserve a wildcard anyway. Keys should meet Gauff in the quarters who she beat at Eastbourne last year, always like Maddison Florida keys on grass though she'll probably lose to Sabalenka again in the semi's. Plucky Heather has Mighty Minnen in Round 1, another nice easy pay check for the wildcard, same time next year.
Wawrinka should sweep aside Broom in Round 1 Former Wimbledon finalists Berrettini is back to some sort of form having reached the Stuttgart final, dangerous floater for fellow Italian Sinner in round 2. Hoping Shelton is knocked out fairly early so as not to see his spoiled face for too long. Alcaraz has an incredibly soft run to the semi's where in theory he'd meet Sinner, I can't see him even dropping 1 set until then, maybe against Tiafoe but that's it. Broady could be free money to beat Botic assuming he's still depressed and is only turning up for the pound note. Never heard of the player Rublev is playing. Draper could play Norrie round 2, hopefully the real Brit puts the plastic Brit out. Unfortunatly last year's junior Wimbledon champions, Britain's Henry Searle has got it tough in that same mini British section, but would even have to beat Giron and Zverev to even get to meet one of those. No real idea where Novak really is with his knee. Could meet Rune in R4 or even last year's Quarter finalist, Eubanks. Could pull up lame in Round 1, who knows. On such a slippery surface in the first week it's a strange decision, though maybe the recent baking heat could have made it less so idk.
Kind Regards.

Bet djokovic glad he entered the when he saw that draw ,plays no one that can possibly trouble him in first few rounds .Far easier half he is in .
Very true, his biggest opponent, early on in this at least, is likely to be his own body holding up. Even winning the easier matches is still playing 3 setters each time.

Stakusic having qualified has got the big stage tenacity to be a challenge for Iga in the third round. She followed up one giant killing win with another in BJK cup so I don't think IJBABP would be guaranteed and she could kick on from there to the quarters perhaps.
I'm not sure DRC could have asked for much better a draw. She's going to have a mazy run in one of the last two slams (potentially) of her career. She's not previously got past the third round but this turbo charged race to the retirement line DRC is a different Danimal and don't overlook she was a doubles semi finaist here two years ago anyway. She had a bad early loss in France but she'll view SW19 through New York as the final sprint of her serious tennis career.
Leylah has had a good week in eastbourne and should reach a third round clash with former champ Rybakina. Up till the final she was managing to get some straightforward wins for a change. A lot of pressure on Rybakina to produce if Sabalenka actually pulls out.
Probably the only thing I agree with Caramba on is that Montgomery has huge potential on grass. Ons in the second round and Svitolina in the third so a bit of a long shot with her work cut out in week 1 it must be said. I think she can at least get properly noticed on the biggest stage in tennis, showering aces for fun and her route masterminded round by round by Nunez.
In the mens I'm still looking at Musetti and Partyman especially after they justified my faith by reaching the Queens final. The Illusionist has a reasonable draw and the first big name he meets is Tsitsipas who is extremely vulnerable on grass. I'm really interested to see how the coming force that is Mensik gets on against Bublik on this surface.

I've not been a big Alcaraz supporter but I was definitely impressed with his ability to eke out a win at Roland Garros with no real form and looking somewhat ropey throughout. Regardless of form he was clearly outthinking Zverev when it came to the crunch and maybe he does have the elite quality to rack up the slams regardless of whether the likes of Sinner stay with him in a sustained rivalry.

it does though Saba was on the other side of the draw, helps the quarter pick of Zheng and value pick of Vekic, as they'd never have been those odds if she's have withdrawn earlier
